Screening as part of The Films of Catherine O'Hara.
When the small town of Blaine, Missouri approaches its 150th anniversary, there’s only one way to celebrate: with a musical revue called “Red, White and Blaine.” Hoping the show will be his ticket back to Broadway, impresario Corky St. Clair (Christopher Guest) rounds up a cast of enthusiastic but untalented locals (Eugene Levy, Fred Willard, Catherine O’Hara) to perform his masterwork. But, when Corky reveals that theater agent Mort Guffman will attend the opening, things really kick into high gear.
“This is my art, and it is dangerous!” – Delia Deetz, Beetlejuice
From sketch comedy to scene-stealing film roles, Catherine O'Hara has spent decades crafting some of the most delightfully eccentric characters ever to grace the big and small screen. Emerging from the groundbreaking Canadian series SCTV (where she first met Eugene Levy), O’Hara immortalized her off-center sensibility in unforgettable films like Beetlejuice and Best in Show, as well as the Emmy-winning series Schitt's Creek. From voicing Sally in The Nightmare Before Christmas to crossing the country with a polka band to reunite with her son in Home Alone, O’Hara’s singular gift for blending absurdity, vulnerability, and immediate affability creates characters that linger long after the credits roll.
1996, 84 Minutes, USA, Directed by Christopher Guest, Rated R
